Some Simple Statements

Many things can be made simple, but many of us insist on making them complex.

You cannot add simplicity in. You have to take complexity out.

Basic is the stereotype of simple. Simple is not necessarily basic. Simple can be advanced.

“Easy to understand” doesn’t mean “easy to do.” Simple isn’t necessarily easy. 

Simple building blocks and rules give rise to complex behaviour.

Simplifying isn’t sacrificing. It’s a release of the non-essential and clarity about what matters most.

Simplicity is often harder to achieve than complexity.

Not everything can be made simple, but as Albert Einstein said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”
